Forest Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 30.5% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.3/10.

Cost burden runs 38% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
